Collective action to secure property rights for the poor: A case study in Jambi Province, Indonesia

"This study presents an approach to analyzing decentralized forestry and natural resource management and land property rights issues, and catalyzing collective action among villages and district governments. It focuses on understanding the current policies governing local people's access to property rights and decision making processes, and learning how collective action among community groups and interaction among stakeholders can enhance local people's rights over lands, resources, and policy processes for development. The authors applied participatory action research in two villages, one each in the Bungo and Tanjabbar districts of Jambi province (Sumatra), Indonesia, to facilitate identification of priorities through phases of planning, action, monitoring, and reflecting. This study finds that action research may be an effective strategy for fostering collective action and maintaining the learning process that leads groups to be more organized and cohesive, and district government officials to be more receptive to stakeholders. A higher level of collective action and support may be needed to avoid elite capture more effectively." authors' abstractDecentralization, Natural resource management, Forest, Collective action, Property rights, Action research, Poverty, Devolution,

KEKUATAN SIDIK JARI SEBAGAI ALAT BUKTI PETUNJUK DALAM MENGUNGKAP TINDAK PIDANA PENCURIAN

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kekuatan sidik jari sebagai alat bukti petunjuk dalam tindak pidana pencurian rumah dan untuk mengetahui kendala dalam proses pelaksanaan sidik jari di tempat kejadian perkara. Metode Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan normatif dan empiris. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kekuatan sidik jari sebagai alat bukti petunjuk dalam tindak pidana pencurian rumah sangat penting dalam mengidentifikasi korban dan pelaku tindak pidana untuk mengungkap atau membuktikan pelaku dan korban secara ilmiah. Sidik jari juga sebagai sarana alat bukti pembantu alat bukti lain. Kekuatan sidik jari sangat akurat karena tidak ada yang mempunyai sidik jari yang sama dan tidak dapat diganti atau diubah. Pembuktian dengan menggunakan identifikasi sidik jari biasanya disertai keterangan saksi sebagai bahan perbandingan dengan sidik jari laten di TKP. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah sidik jari diharapkan dapat menjadi alat bukti kuat bagi penyidik hukum dalam hal ini sidik jari sangat berperan penting dalam pembuktian oleh karena itu, pihak Kepolisian harus menjaga kestrerilan TKP agar tidak terjadi salah pengidentifikasian yang dapat berakibat salah tangkap bahkan salah memutus terdakwa di pengadilan.Kata kunci: Pencurian; Sidik Jari; Tindak Pidana

Hybrid method for selection of the optimal process of leachate treatment in waste treatment and valorization plants or landfills

“The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10098-014-0834-4”Leachate from waste landfill or treatment plants is a very complex and highly contaminated liquid effluent. In its composition, it is found dissolved organic matter, inorganic salts, heavy metals, and other xenobiotic organic compounds, so it can be toxic, carcinogenic, and capable of inducing a potential risk to biota and humans. European law does not allow such leachate to leave the premises without being depolluted. There are many procedures that enable debugging, always combining different techniques. Choosing the best method to use in each case is a complex decision, as it depends on many tangible and intangible factors that must be weighed to achieve a balance between technical, cost, and environmental sustainability. It is presenting a hybrid method for choosing the optimal combination of techniques to apply in each case, by combining a multicriteria hierarchical analysis based on expert data obtained by the Delphi method with an analysis by the method of VIKOR to reach a consensus solution.Martín Utrillas, MG.; Reyes Medina, M.; Curiel Esparza, J.; Cantó Perelló, J.

A framework for analysing learning health systems: Are we removing the most impactful barriers?

Objective: Learning Health Systems (LHS) are one of the major computing advances in healthcare. However, no prior research has systematically analysed barriers and facilitators for LHS. This paper presents an investigation into the barriers, benefits and facilitating factors for LHS in order to create a basis for their successful implementation and adoption. Method: First, the ITPOSMO-BBF framework was developed based on the established ITPOSMO (Information, Technology, Processes, Objectives, Staffing, Management and Other factors) framework, extending it for analysing barriers, benefits and facilitators. Second, the new framework was applied to LHS. Results: We found that LHS shares similar barriers and facilitators with Electronic Health Records (EHR); in particular, most facilitator effort in implementing EHR and LHS goes towards barriers categorised as human factors, even though they were seen to carry fewer benefits. Barriers whose resolution would bring significant benefits in safety, quality and health outcomes remain. Discussion: LHS envisage constant generation of new clinical knowledge and practice based on the central role of collections of EHR. Once LHS are constructed and operational, they trigger new data streams into the EHR. So LHS and EHR have a symbiotic relationship. The implementation and adoption of EHRs has proved and continues to prove challenging and there are many lessons for LHS arising from these challenges. Conclusion: Successful adoption of LHS should take account of the framework proposed in this paper, especially with respect to its focus on removing barriers that have the most impact

The Impact of the Development of Trade Practices on Enforcement of International Environmental Law

The issue of trade and environment is always debatable. Degradation and damaging to the environment surge the countries in making comprehensive and multi-approach planning. This is based on the view that trade should not only count for profit but also carry out calculations and planning for the impacts and conditions when the business is carried out and after completion. The purpose of this paper is to find out whether the environment causes trade not to be carried out and to end economic growth and there is a solution to balance the environment and trade as prevention in both fields through environmental protection legal instruments. The first issue showed that trade that used to be a source of income that is the main target of countries, nevertheless, the unwise planning and also corrupt cases has made the trade become the trigger for environmental damage. This condition caused by a lack of awareness in law enforcement and even various corruption issues causing trade to become a threat, especially for the environment. The second issue arises, which is the mechanism in balancing trade and the environment to preserve the environment and encourage the country's economic growth by optimizing the implementation of environmental protection laws. This paper uses normative legal research methods by collecting data derived from the literature, legislation, articles, and cases that occur within countries. The result shows that more states and stakeholder using more technique on achieving a balance of trade and environment protection, with a pro-environment calculation, it is expected that trade will be carried out in parallel with environmental preservation
